When I first saw this video just after Christmas, I just knew I would be sharing it with you all at some point.. And Today, as we embrace another Brand New Year, is the perfect day to share what Akiane has to say,~ ‘Here she is’,—- ”Taking her time to cherish everything around her,”~ as you witness the birth of another amazing painting.

There will always be signs and there will always be a way. We only need to dare to look out and follow them. Thank you for your inspiration and love you share with all you are posting, dear Sue. You are a blessing. I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year 💖

A very thought provoking poem showcasing your shift. I was talking to a friend not too long ago about shifting. Although she understood the concept she had not experienced a shift and was looking forward to it.
The video was just as thought provoking and a message to me that most inspirational ideas and revelation come in mundane task as most of us sometimes look for that inspiration in ethereal feelings. My best lines for poems come when I do mundane things.
I must say the narrator sounds like Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.
Beautiful message all around. Happy New Year my friend.

Thank you Joseph, the Narrator is the artist, and earth angel comes to mind..
Yes sometimes the most simplest of things bring us the most profound insights, and I love it when Nature speaks to me, as she brings her gifts as Signs..
Have a wonderful 2018 my Joseph.. And keep those poems coming.. 🙂 🙂

Yes Nature speaks to me and when I am in the woods or by the ocean nature speaks to me most often and that is where a lot of my insight comes and I do get insight from the simplest things as well. Wishing you a most insightful 2018

Yes we will. Something has been going on since Spring of 2017. I can feel it and the only inkling into it is that it feels heavy not on my shoulder but heavy like waiting for lightning to hit. Does that make sense?

Yes that makes perfect sense Joseph.. I wrote a poem before Christmas I entitled it ‘Knowing’ and I touch upon the feeling of knowing something Big is about to happen, yet not wanting to voice what I feel it is.. I will have to post it.. 🙂 But I will be busy the next couple of days with my granddaughter, But its just like you describe..

I love this, thank you for sharing. I have three daughters and braided their hair every day when they were young. They now ask me to braid their hair when they come to visit. Today is always and only the day that matters. This touched me, thank you again.

Wonderful to know you daughters still ask you to braid their hair and that you so resonated with this post.. Many thanks for your lovely comment.. And sending well wishes for you and your family for a Wonderful 2018 🙂

Sue, the video is captivating, enchanting and so full of wisdom and serenity. A soothing thoughtful start for the year and joy to watch …wise words indeed and the painting is exquisite! Thank you so much for sharing! Xxx

Sweet dear Sue this is a beautiful poem. I love that you wrote this in 2012 and can see so much growth. Thank you for always sharing and supporting my growth in healing heart, and body. Blessings to you sweet Sue in 2018. Xoxo 💫✨⭐️🌟🤩💕💖❤️

Thank you for those kind wishes dearest Mihran, It is always a great delight to have your presence here, And may your 2018 be filled with health, and an abundance of Harmony in life and within your amazing work with your orchestra.. 🙂

Happy new Year lovely lady.This is a lovely poem.It makes you sit back and remember to cherish the importance of nature and enjoy whats all around us.I love the peacefulnuss of our caravan in the countryside.24hrs recharges me just doing nothing but walkibg and surrounded by nature.I feel lucky.I spend life ensuring those we offer support to are looked after the best but good effective care comes at a price and stress levels are sometimes very high.I miss not writing..not having the time to write but enjoy moments when I read the light you shine into others lives including mine.Love and light my friend.xxxxx

Aww Bless you Alison, so lovely to know you enjoy reading after all of this time, i drop by from time to time to see if you had posted..
And I so know the stress that goes along with support.. Which was why I retired early.. I am pleased I did, Its given me lots of quality time with hubby..
I really appreciate that you came by to comment.. Means a Lot to me after all the years we have been blogging friends.. 🙂
Sending lots of love and well wishes for 2018 my friend.. Love and Hugs
Sue xxxx ❤

Happy New Year, dear Sue!! That was a beautiful poem and the video too was touching. I’m amazed and in awe of her talent! And her words were thought provoking too, specially about how each moment is a piece of puzzle that makes up day that in itself is a puzzle to complete the puzzle of our life journey 🙂

Wonderful to see you Anita, and sending you special thoughts for New Beginnings in 2018.. I am always in Awe of her talent.. and her special gift..
Wishing you a Very Happy New Year Anita xxx ❤ Hugs to you

What an uplifting, joyful poem. We have hawks here in our neighborhood, and I love watching them fly. (But, I must admit, they also chase the smaller birds into panic..) ;–0 May we ease into the new year with no panic, but with anticipation for joy and magic. xo

True, we have a few sparrow Hawks that love to hunt over our roof tops.. And as I feed about 20 plus sparrows in my garden daily.. They have occasionally swooped down to catch them. Fortunately they have missed.. as I have lots of ever green shrubs and the sparrows use them for cover.
I have even had the hawks come and drink out of my bird bath.. Oh to have had my camera handy when that happened.. 🙂 lol..
Wishing you a Very Happy 2018 also Pamela.. Love and Peace to you 🙂 ❤

Loved your poem from a few years ago. It was perfect for now as well. The video was lovely too. Like to watch her painting. You have shared several but today I was compelled to look her up and find out about her. Very interesting. I hope you had a wonderfilled Christmas and a happy new year celebration. I’m praying for more peace and kindness in the world. Have a wonderfilled 2018. Hugs, M

Yes Marlene, she came from humble beginnings and she truly shares with us all a special gift..
We had a most wonderful Christmas, all be it quiet, it was peaceful and perfect..
Sending you my well wishes for a Happy Healthy, Harmonious Year dear Marlene.. I truly hope that Mankind begins to Open up his Heart this year to Peace and Kindness.. It is my wish also.. ❤ Hugs and Love.. xxx ❤

I read this just now listening to a serenade of sleet, feeling warm and cozy, being the perfect canvas to absorb the quiet delight of your poem and the video. Your posts always lead me to a deeper understanding of things beyond the mundane world. You lead me to glimpse a world rich with meaning and gentle beauty.

I am delighted that my posts take you into another realm of thought dear JoAnna.. I have just emerged from spending a couple of days with my granddaughter, So my world has been enhanced in Magical Stories, and Wonderful Imagination and Play,, No better way to start the new year. 😀 lol.. ❤

Sue, that was more than perfect for me to hear (the video). Thanks so much. Would you mind if I re-blogged your post? Akiane is an amazing artist! Thanks so much for sharing. Happy New Year to you and your family, too. I’ll be back to catch up more. Warm hugs. ~ Linne

Dearest Linne.. sorry to have been late in replying, but I have not been on line for a few days.. Of course.. If you see the reblog button there on any posts feel free.. No need to ask.. If I do not wish for a post to be reposted, I would remove the reblog and sharing buttons . 🙂
So pleased you enjoyed Akiane’s talent. Sending you Wonderful well wishes for 2018 Linne.. Love and Hugs xxx

Its funny you posted this video because as I read your beautiful poem, I was thinking of suggesting that you paint it . it was very visual to me. i especially love tne first verse because thats how i try to remember to think when I wake up each day. my eyes were bothering me but I think they are healing again. I will catch up with your writing in the coming days. Happy New Year Sue. Thank you for being a part of my life. Its been a great gift.

Oh Linda, so wonderful to find you hear upon my return in my notifications.. I logged into your sites and saw no new updates, and was sending healing to you. The painting was part of a dream a vivid one I had some time ago which I just had to paint.. So used it again as I felt it went well with this old poem.. I will direct you to it via a link when I come back to your Comment again my friend.. Wishing you all the best for each and every day.. ❤ xxx ❤

Dear Sue, what a lovely New Year’s post! Thank you for sharing these beautiful words.
I’ve been sick all year with a sinus infection. Applesauce! That sounds dreadful when I say it that way. Let’s say all week… But I won’t let that illness mar my outlook for 2018. Why? Because on New Year’s morning, I awoke dreaming of angels.
That’s even bigger when you consider that I rarely remember dreams, and the ones I have are bizarre at best.
So each day, as I deal with as I deal with coughing, sneezing and disgusting mucus — and the bitterly cold (way below normal) temperatures (-13 C at 7AM today even in the sunshine), I try and bring back the positivity of a dream of angels. A great beginning to 2018.
Happy New Year to you and yours, my friend. Hugs on the wing!

I am sure it is no coincidence that those Angels remained in your Dream memory banks Teagan.. So sorry to hear you have been unwell over the holiday season. My Daughter too came down with a very nasty virus which laid her low for several weeks.
I saw on the TV how USA is in the grip of unusually low temps and snow and ice.. So my thoughts are with you in this cold spell.
I am certain 2018 will bring in good health, happiness and harmony, Sending Love and the wing right back.. 🙂 xxx

Hi dear friend… I keep leaving comments but they disappear So I feel they may be going into Spam.. It is happening with other sites I visit also, not just yours.. I came back here in the hopes you see this next time you log in.. and maybe rescue me.. 🙂 Take care.. Sue xxx ❤

What a beautiful way to start the new year Sue. And I absolutely loved the video. Cherish every day, savour all moments and notice the signs all around us. Simply beautiful. I wish you a magical blessed year brimming over with joy, love and happiness ❤️ xo

Bless you Miriam, 🙂 and I had just such a magical time over at your own blog just now.. I meant to say also about those coins that are no longer currency, Showing us really how money is only how we put the value upon it. Money itself is worthless.. 🙂 ❤ Happy New Year my friend.. Love and Joy to you.. xxx

Thank you Sue for all the love over on my blog, I always love it when you visit. Yes, you’re right, money itself is worthless. 🙂 Happy new year to you as well my friend. May it be an extraordinarily beautiful one ahead. xo ❤️

Flying and talking with the Hawks, dancing with the butterflies ..you seemed to have been in a very blissful state. Btw, Sue since the last few weeks I have been hearing that some people can hold about telepathic communication with animals. I find it absolutely fascinating and in this poem, I see a hint of that if I am not mistaken.

Oh I have just seen as I click onto your notifications that I have somehow unfollowed you, I dont know how.. but I will click on it to rectify right now.. So no wonder I did not see your new post.. xxxx

Thank you, Sue, Also, wanted to tell you that I am trying to publish a mix of posts, for different groups of readers, and may not be equally relevant to all my blogging friends. So please never feel compelled to comment on the ones which may not be relevant to your reading preferences, I hope you do not mind my saying this. 🙂

Not at all dear friend, in fact Thank you.. For you have a wonderful wealth of knowledge and I so enjoy reading and learning something new, I may often be late in arriving but when I do I love to read your posts.. Many thanks for thinking this way for me.. xxx ❤

I agree Lisa, she connects deeply as do you my friend. And your own art is no less a gift, that you share it with others, And all who admire it can see your own connection to the Source.. And the LOVE you have in your heart for all of nature..
So pleased you enjoyed 🙂

Through all the difficulties since I started following your blog, you somehow manage to stay positive and hopeful for the future. Yours is the attitude I hope to maintain when things become disappointing the new 2018!

Dear Sue I must say, this is such powerful poem, good that you shared it, missed the earlier posting and every line has the measured depth and the perfect rhyme in such power, it is difficult to chose one verse from the other. To start with in the first verse…spring in the step and the appointment with nature encompasses a whole world of bliss in front of us, such a profound thought. We feel the elation and the joy when we want to venture into nature, that too we have an appointment, sounds empowering and we have spring attached to our feet to take that delightful plunge. Second verse about the shift, there is many phases that comes in our life and every time we need to take a shift in our thoughts and in our mind and embracing the new landscape in our life.

Yes, Hawks signifies so much about our life, living…the vision, the patience, the grace; so much part of how we should be living our life. Taking a flight with the Hawk and enjoying the glide in the clear sky…is the best thing that can happen to stimulate and magnify the world of our imagination, the mythical source of energy for our life; such a vital aspects of living a creatively engaging and a meaningful life… the aspiration, joining the flight to free, the unshackles from the hassles of routines and ride the joy of complete freedom.

Then as I silently went through the video of Akiane, it was so beautifully juxtaposition with the thoughts that you have captured in the poem. It was divine. Unraveling the journey of painting and that comes from the passionate observation of what’s happening around us and there is the magic in the routine things that we have to keep doing day in day out and we have to do till we live our life. The mandate though it appears mundane. So true, the present is everything, it is the moment that matters in the making of the story of our life. Nothing that we can do to our past and if we know what is in-store in our future, the mystery is lost forever; and there is nothing that can make life joyful and exciting. Allowing every moment to unfold the way it has been scripted and we should learn the art of embracing those moments in its entirety and cherish the nuances of those moments. Indeed the unpredictability makes life more profound and it is the future that is where we have all new possibilities hidden for us and we should be ready to venture for self discovery, and accept what comes our way and the way it comes…therein lies the true beauty of life.

Painting is story by itself and in the video, everything is encapsulated…the life of living a place away from the cacophony of city life and in the serenity of nature, and when we blend both we see there is a method in the madness, life has its flow and form, and it is for us to build the blocks with emotions and create the structure with thoughts the way we want it for us…thanks so much dear Sue for sharing this video, it has provided me the medicines I needed to heal myself and get back my inspirations and aspirations on board which was surreptitiously sliding away and had almost taken a tumble.

Again dear Nihar, your eloquent observations of both my poem and the video shows you have so seen what I did and why I felt these two would blend together perfectly. Your words as always inspire me to keep creating.
And you left these words which so spoke to me..

life has its flow and form, and it is for us to build the blocks with emotions and create the structure with thoughts the way we want it for us

So true… No matter what the script throws at us, it is for us to choose and create with our thoughts..

Many thanks Nihar… You too take care and have a perfect weekend where I hope you can relax. 🙂

The more I think on the video, the more I connect the way we all live our daily life and so many things keep happening around us and we go with the motion and when we pause and reflect at every such juncture in life we find something we have missed and many things could well have made a difference in our life, had we observed and absorbed it a little better.

A painting is not always just a painting, and for a painter so much of emotions and feelings that get embedded during the process and we don’t realize as we are deeply immersed in the composition of our art and craft takes us in oscillating journey until we reach our destination…
Though the writer writes the scripts, it is the director who changes to suit his or her interpretation of that subject and as an actor we have to play our role which may have its shades different than the writer and the director.
Fostering creative needs such deep deliberations and deeper involvement in meaningful conversations for us…thank you dear Sue for such great exchange of ideas to keep our inspiration up and running.
Bliss and Peace!!!
😀

I have long believed dear Nihar we are actors each playing out our scripts which the director only knows the last of our lines 🙂 Art for me has always been a deep connection, that takes me to a place which is removed from the stress of every day life. And was a savour of mine a fair few years ago..
I am so very happy you enjoyed this post Nihar as much as I did.. Especially the video, a remarkable artist and gifted talent she has.. Whose own words hold wisdom for us all..

Thank you and enjoy your week, may it also be stress free 😀 and creative 🙂

I love to be engaged with art and keep working on the craft of creativity in multiple areas, just the way you do and you do it with such panache and with so much passion and power, lesser mortal like us are far from it…indeed it gives a magical experience when we put the imagination and creation in contest when we are wearing the hat of an artist and it like venturing into a new world, a wonderful new world that anchors us and entails a new energy with us, and there is solitude and solace in that dialogue we have with the essence of art and work of craft.
Thank you so much dear Sue and take care.
😀

I do not agree dear Nihar that you are a lesser mortal my friend Lol… Each are artistic within their own gifts.. Writing is creative and artistic. Doing what we love rejuvenates us and energises us. I thank YOU my friend… Have a wonderful week 🙂

There is always a sign of hope and love for every one of us. I believe so, Sue, and thank you for helping me to make my grip firmer on my belief with each of your words. Thanks for sharing the beautiful video, too.

I believe the best day of my life is ahead. Still ahead, although, I’m almost 60. I don’t know, there have been nice moments, but I’m not even 1 small bit closer to what I am after than I was 50 years ago. Sad. Or motivating? I don’t know, I just know I wanted so much more from life which did not happen so far.

May be Inese that is why you are still waiting my friend, For you are telling the Universe you are still waiting for that best day ahead. I know since your accident you have been through a rough time of it. So I can understand your despondency. But really when we step back and think of it, Now is the only moment we live and experience. So when we embrace that moment as being the best moment, more best moments unfurl 🙂 ❤ I know since I stopped living in the past and stopped wishing for the the future, Today is the best day :-D, but it wasn't always like that.. It took many years before I understood what I was doing to myself. 🙂 Lovely to see you xx ❤

You will be surprised what has been understood and held in that beautiful heart inside. And the harder the journey the more profound and appreciative even those little things are. Because of them the more you can ‘see’ ❤
